Strategy name
I usually run several strategies to get a real time indication of which is best and the Trade Manager tab Strategy Position gives me an instantaneous
snapshot of how they are doing. There is a column title Strategy Name that doesn't do what its name implies. Instead it calls each strategy Strategy
and displays the input parameters, requiring me to decipher them to figure out which strategy is associated with each row.
A TS support person suggested a good work around is to add as the first input parameter something like:
string StrategyName("GSB_ES3"),
With this change, it becomes obvious which is which without having to search thru all charts of that same instrument to compare the input values
associated with the strategy for which results I am seeing in the Trade Manager. This also shows the strategy name at the top right of each chart
along with the other input parameters.
It would be nice if the Builder adds the Header Text as the first input parameter to help with this. Not really a show stopper since I can add it
myself, but it would be a helpful option to have.

I think this has to be manual unless we make the input the comment field.
What I dont like about this is its going to clutter all the GSB / ewfo fields with a un-needed input. One of the reasons new gsb has the start and end
dates moved from inputs to vars.
Maybe just using the strat name might be best. I dont ever look at trade manager and personally didnt see the need.
